UltaSpot FLOOD LIGHT

READ THOROUGHLY BEFORE INSTALLING

OVERVIEW

This product was designed from the ground up to be the most efficie nt and reliable flood lighting product on t he market. Please read a nd understand all installation
instruction prior to installing. Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact your local agent or Carolina High Mast for clarification.

UNPACKING

The UltaSpot ships preassembled in one shipping package. The package is
designed to minimize ris k of damage to the luminaire during shipping and
handling. It is recommended that the UltaSpot is not remo ved from the
packaging unless it is to be immediately mounted on the support structure.
Each package contains a n exterior label that i dentifies the wattage and
lighting distribution. In preaiming lighting systems, each package also
uniquely ide ntifies the appropriate tower and cross arm location.
WARNING: Removing the fixture from the packaging and se tting on the
ground could damage the glass or ex terior finish. Care should be taken to
protect the unit if it is to be removed from the packaging a nd not
immediately bolted to t he support structure.

INSTALLATION

A. MOUNTING

The flood light is provided with a heavy duty mounting trunion. The
mounting trunion has clearance for a ¾” main a ttachment bolt. Raise
the luminaire into position and attached the main ¾” trunion bolt.
Snug tight the main bolt to hold the luminaire in place. The luminaire
shall be adjusted to the proper left-right aiming angle by rotating the
luminaire on the main trunion bolt. Once the proper lef t-right aiming
angle has been achieved, tighten the main trunion bolt to 80-90 ft*lb
of torque. NOTE: Refer to aiming instructions for additional details
on proper aiming procedure.

B. WIRING

Make all connections in accordance with the National Electric Code
and any applicable local code requirements. Verify that the supplie d
voltage (as marked on the luminaire packaging) matches the supply
voltage to the lighting unit. NOTE: If the luminaire is supplied with
an optional Brad Harrison style connector, skip this step.

a. Remove the rear ballast cover by removing the (4) #10

screws

b. The luminaire includes a weather tig ht cord grip in the

lower portio n of the ballast housing. It is recommended
that the luminaire be wired with a minimum 16/3
SEOOW (90C+ ra ting). The cord grip ma y need to be
loosened to ensure the cable easily slides into the ballast
housing.

c. The ballast is factory prewired for the desired site

voltage. Three wires include an electrical butt-splice.
The leads are covered in a high temperature pro tective
fiberglass cover. Push back the coating to access the
butt splice as needed. Using a cable crimp tool, match
the color code of the incoming 16/3 to the supplied
wires (Black/White/Green). WARNING: In a L-N-G
system, ensure the system neutral is connected to the

incoming white wire only. G is exclusively reserved for
electrical ground and B is always hot (Line).

d. Once the incoming power is connected to the butt splice

connectors, push the fi ber glass wire covering over the
butt splice, and push over incoming cable to within 1” of
cord grip. N OTE: The fi berglass covering protects the
wires in case of contact with the ballast and full covering
of the incoming wire is critical.

e. Once the electrical connections are made, ensur e the

supplied cord grip is pro perly tightened on power cable.

f. Reattached the ballast housi ng cover by tightening the

(4) #10 screws.

C. LAMPING

Open the optical housing by manually releasing each of the glass
clamp draw latches. This process should be accomplished without
the use of tools! Install the lamp that was supplied with the
luminaire by Carolina High Mast. The lamp shall be hand tightened
to approxima tely 35 in*lb. Care should be taken to ensure clean
hands and/or gloves are used when handling the lamp and optical
surface. NOTE: Carolina High Mast has designed the Ulta Spot

around a specific set of high performance, energy efficient lam ps.

Lamps shall not be substituted without written authorization from
CHM. Close the glass door and reattach the glass support latches.

Ensure the wire from the glass latch has properly seated in the strike
plate and that all latches are properly engaged. (NOTE: If the glass is
not properly sealed, dirt and contaminants wi ll seep into the optical
reducing overall luminaire efficiency)

AIMING PREPARATION

Prior to aiming of the flood lighting fixtures, it is critical to ensure the
proper distributions are located in the appropriate location on the s upport
structure. The ballast housing will include a large label on the field side of
the housing indicating the lighting dis tribution (e.g. N, M or W).
Distributions should be matched to the supplied aiming array illustrating
the fixture array, aiming angles and specifi c distribution.

DEGREE AIMING

The UltaSpot is provide d with a horizontal and vertical a iming indicator.
These aiming indicators can be use d for general aiming indication. NOTE: If
precision ai ming is required, the target aiming process should be followed.
Contact CHM for detaile d target ai ming instructions.

In the pre-aimed configuration, both the horizontal and vertical aiming
indicators with be marked with the appropriate aiming settings. Adjust the
luminaire until the aiming mark aligns with the aiming bolt. IF the fixture is
not pre-aimed from the factory, follo w the aimi ng steps be low.

The included installation instructions are not to be considered to cover all de tails. General best practice and safety precautions should be taken whe n working with

electrical equipment such as this. Should there be any uncertainty about the guidelines contained herein, Caroli na High Mast or an Carolina High Mast

representative should be contacted immediately for further guidance.

1. The pole and crossarms must be braced so that they are both
LEVEL (parallel) with the ground.

2. Each floodlight is attached to the crossarm(s) so that the glass
lens is LEVEL(parallel) with the ground.

3. An inclinome ter is positioned on the glass lens perpendicular
to the crossarm. The down angle adjustment that is indicated
in the square boxes of the fixture a rrangement and aiming
schedule is made. The bolts that attach the trunnion to
floodlight housing are tightened.

4. The repositio n stop is then aligned against its stop and secured
by tightening the screw.

5. The bolts are then loosened and the floodlight is rotated back
to its original horizontal (level) position in preparation for Left
or Right adjus tment. Retighten the bolts.

6. The inclinometer is positioned on the glass lens parallel to the
crossarm. The crossarm attachment bolts are loosened, the
Left or Right angle adjustment is made, and the bolt is
retightened.

7. Finally, the trunnion/fixture bolts are loosened and the
floodlight is rotated to its final vertical position (against the
